Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Musical Form This book is not a text-book. It is intended for any cultured reader who takes an interest in good music. At the same time I must add that a work of this nature would have been of great help to me when I was a young student of music. Text-books contain such a mass of detail that it is next to impossible for the beginner to get any conception whatsoever of the general principles of the art of composition. He plods up the rocky slopes of Parnassus, catching at every ledge, bruised with falls, foot-sore and weary, to be rewarded with a vision of the antres vast and deserts idle only when he has scaled the heights and reached the top. These pages give a brief description of the paths that lead to this desirable summit; but do not imagine, casual reader, that the perusal of this book will make you a composer. At best, it is but a captive balloon from which you can snatch a bird's eye view of the panorama nearest you. The wings of the eagle alone can soar into the blue.

Download or read book The Story of Music written by Paul Bekker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Music: An Historical Sketch of the Changes in Musical Form I freely confess that I have chosen the second course, not from any lack of modesty, but because I believe that the presentation of history is a matter less of knowledge than of point of view. For this reason the invitation of the Radio Corporation attracted me particularly, as it gave me the opportunity of testing the soundness of the ideas developed in my book on Wagner and my pamphlet on The Nature of Tone in the larger field of music history as a whole. These lectures, which were given under the title of The History of Change in Music, are here presented in book form. While the title has been changed, the lec ture form has been retained because it gives the original layout of the material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Musical Form When, ten years later, the second edition was prepared, I added a second part in which my own ideas and observations took the book be yond the status of an elementary textbook. The new chapters on Logic and Coherence, The Accompaniment in Its Formal and Stylistic Sig nificance, The Forms of Unison Music, touched new ground, not ade quately tilled in any older book. I also added detailed analyses of the Gregorian chant, oriental and exotic music, renaissance and baroque music, works of Bach, Beethoven, the romantic masters, Wagner and Brahms, Cesar Franck and Debussy. Diagrams helped to translate certain musical constructions into visual terms, thus strengthening the reader's insight into the structure of the composition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Musical Groundwork: Being a First Manual of Musical Form and History, for Students and Readers I have not thought it necessary to burden the reader with cross references in so small a volume, and I would point out that, frequently throughout the book, where a subject appears to terminate abruptly its continuation will be seen on another page. Take the case of Opera. In this description, slight reference only is made to the Over ture, but a fuller account of this movement appears in the section on Musical Forms. Again, in the chapter on Instruments and Instrumentation, much concerning the Symphony has been omitted there in order that it may find a place where the Symphony is treated as a Form. Not a little, too, concerning early Instrumentation will be found in the treatment of the Opera and Oratorio. Finally, the little work, small as it is, covers an immense historic ground and critical survey. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Symphony The present book is an attempt to put before the reader all that is important in the story of the symphony, from the earliest examples of the form to the present day. Its rise and development are traced briefly, but, I hope, as adequately as the limits of the book allow. Many musical quotations are given, not only from the older, but also from the more recent composers, and a (necessarily) short account of the works of present-day writers is included.

Download or read book Classical Form written by William E. Caplin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000-12-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on ideas first advanced by Arnold Schoenberg and later developed by Erwin Ratz, this book introduces a new theory of form for instrumental music in the classical style. The theory provides a broad set of principles and a comprehensive methodology for the analysis of classical form, from individual ideas, phrases, and themes to the large-scale organization of complete movements. It emphasizes the notion of formal function, that is, the specific role a given formal unit plays in the structural organization of a classical work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Primer of Musical Forms: A Systematic View of the Typical Forms of Modern Music By Form in Music is meant the characteristic shape which a musical idea assumes through the operation of its individuality in Rhythm, Melody, and' Harmony. Form has reference to the length of a piece as a whole; to the extent and variety of its subdivisions; to its modulatory structure, its characteristic rhythms, etc. In short, as Lobe says, to all those peculiarities in which different pieces of music appear unlike each other.

Download or read book First Year Analysis Musical Form written by Thomas Tapper and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Year Analysis (Musical Form) The purpose of this text is to acquaint the student with the structure of music. This requires the explanatory text and questions which are provided in this volume and, as well, material for analysis which is provided in a separate volume, entitled: Musical Form And Analysis. (Schmidt's Educational Series, No.122.) The advantage of having all the required material for analysis in one book, is obvious. The examples must necessarily be selected from a wide variety of sources from a wider literature, in fact, than most students possess. While this reading text covers the more common forms, it is most desirable to carry out all the analysis required. It is only by the actual analytical examination of music that the form is grasped as a whole, and its subsidiary elements of structure revealed. A symphony, or a symyhonic poem, like a cathedral, has its ground plan, its details, its elaborated motives, and its interrelation of parts. While one may look upon a cathedral in wonder and admiration, both these emotions are intensified and justified by a knowledge of the creative thought and of the constructive process that lie in the work as a complex of growth; a complex that is always reducible to a simple basis.

Download or read book Analysis of the Evolution of Musical Form Classic Reprint written by Margaret H. Glyn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Analysis of the Evolution of Musical Form The general drift of this theory of music has already been indicated in The Rhythmic Conception of Music. The object of the present volume may be briefly stated to be the application of the evolutionary principle to practical music, the essential motive power of which is to be found in rhythm. By this means it is possible to produce an analysis which, as promised in the former volume, shall weld all the various parts of musical education into one consistent and logical whole. The theory has arisen not from abstract ideas, but out of the study of music. It is not so much a theory about music as an endeavour to translate into the terms of the intellect the form of the impressions made upon the musical imagination - in short, to hold the mirror up to Music. It is hoped that those who have themselves the intuitive knowledge will recognise the likeness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
